y66 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Windows is Shutting Downby Clive James Windows is shutting down, and grammar areOn their last leg. So what am we to do?A letter of complaint go just so far, Proving the only one in step are you. Better, perhaps, to simply let it goes.A sentence have to be screwed pretty badBefore they gets to where you doesnt knowsThe meaning what it must be meant to had. The meteor have hit. Extinction spread,But evolution do not stop for that.A mutant languages rise from the deadAnd all them rules is suddenly old hat. Too bad for we, us what has had so longThe best seat from the only game in town.But there it am, and whom can say its wrong?Those are the break. Windows is shutting down.
